Brazil Court Bars Bolsonaro Family Visit for Father’s Day
Brazil's top court denies Bolsonaro's Father's Day family visit request. Justice Moraes rules the request invalid as visits remain suspended. The post Brazil Court Bars Bolsonaro Family Visit for Father’s Day appeared first on The Rio Times .
Brazil's Supreme Court justice Alexandre de Moraes denied a request from former President Jair Bolsonaro's defence to allow his sons to visit him for Father's Day. The ruling, made on 8 August 2026, comes amid a 30-day suspension of non-essential visits, effective since 17 July 2026, following a breach of social media restrictions.
Justice de Moraes stated that only medical staff, physiotherapists, and lawyers are permitted to visit Bolsonaro at his home. The decision emphasizes the strict conditions of Bolsonaro's detention as he serves a 27-year, three-month sentence for attempting to subvert Brazil's democratic order. The suspension of non-essential visits is scheduled to lift on 16 August 2026, just days after the intended Father's Day visit.
